If you’re looking for good Somali food you should definitely check out Hoyo’s Cuisine. Checked them out at the Uptown Farmer’s market today and had Somali food for the first time and loved it. The tea was wonderful too as were the sambosas (not pictured).

I’ve recently seen complaints about the delicious smells of donuts, barbecue joints, now chicken. Begs the question, what kind of restaurant DO you want to live above and enjoy the food aroma?

I wonder what the LD clause is like in a Super Bowl performer contract.

Between impossible to clean slime and quick dry play-doh, turns out that making and playing with regular dough is the most fun for our sensory seeking kiddo. Plus the house smells like a bakery, which I love.

Man I hope some PI firm sponsors an F1 team.
Unfortunately for all of you, my choice for this answer is undoubtedly the best one: American Spirit Cadillac Formula 1 Team.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars”, “Star Trek”, “Doctor Who”, or “Transformers.”

Some key takeaways:
⚡️ Planned facilities could bring 8.5 new gigawatts onto the local grid, enough to power up to 1.9 million homes.
💧 Locally, they currently use about the same amount of water as 20 golf courses.
👩 Experts say power is a bigger worry than water for desert data centers.

Two big points from my story:

- The law that established the data center tax exemption program doesn't require operators to report key data, like how much money they saved.
- Existing facilities contributed at least $24.9 million in property taxes last year in Maricopa County.
NEW: Arizona is a top market for data centers, warehouses for the digital infrastructure that powers modern technology.

I investigated the industry in my final stories for
@azcentral.com. The first looks at why the facilities are dividing communities. Read: www.azcentral.com/story/money/...
Data centers are easy to love — or despise. Why they're so divisive
They form the backbone of social media platforms, e-commerce sites and other technologies. They pay big tax bills but suck up energy and water.

Hoping this story ends well. I know Guthrie was just back in town late last year doing a promo for our alma mater Arizona. Sucks something like this would happen a few months later.

I just realized that “I don’t answer questions” is basically the strategy my first grader uses on me. Effective and infuriating.

Small crowds gathering near the Zipps at 32 Shea where ICE activity is reported. Fortunately looked pretty peaceful, hope it stays that way.
